Yi To confronts the core of human existence, intertwining transformation, embodiment, and the pursuit of meaning. Working primarily with oil paint, she employs a technique of layering thinned, diluted pigments to create translucent, atmospheric compositions. This approach allows her to construct intricate surfaces that evoke a sense of depth and light, inviting viewers to contemplate the fundamental experiences shared by humanity. Her work often features abstracted human forms, contorted and intertwined, suggesting a pre-narrative state of being that transcends individual identity. These figures appear to exist in a timeless, universal space, reflecting her interest in the collective human condition and the underlying rhythms that connect us all. Through her art, she seeks to illuminate the invisible forces that shape our existence, offering a visual language that resonates with the shared experiences of life, death, and transformation. Yi To’s practice is informed by a deep engagement with materials and textures, aiming to re-establish a connection between contemporary society and the natural world. She draws inspiration from ancient cave paintings and the tactile qualities of natural surfaces, seeking to evoke a sense of belonging and continuity with the earth. Her work challenges the polished aesthetics of modern life, offering instead a raw, emotive exploration of the human experience. ...
